If this is, as recipients say, the police association, why don't they stop? I have told them repeatedly that I can deal with mail solicitations but that telephone is out of the question. Even if their organization is worthy, and I suspect that it is, the police should not solicit by telephone. It is a huge imposition on us.

730p "on behalf of the toronto police department assocation" called, told them the person at home wasn't here. looked up this number online and got here. comment on rudeness was new to me plus got the idea from one of you to call them back.  

some muzak played for a sec till answering machine came on, said my call was being processed and that they wanted to speak to me personally. then told me if i had any questions or concerns to call "toll free" at 1-+1 800-223-5315 "at regluar business hours eastern time"  

looked THAT number up online, apparently in use by a Rogers cable comm customer since dec 12 2001.  if anyone knows who please post.

I just got a call from (416) 628-4563.  The fellow was claiming to be raising funds for the Children's Wish Foundation.  I called the Toronto City Police and they said this is a scam and not to send any money.  They said any fundraising associated with them will be through the Toronto Police Association and will be asking for money to send children to the circus.  If you *69 the number, it will come up as blocked.I hope this helps.

Got a call from this number this evening.  Caller explained he was calling on behalf the police association raising money to buy tickets for events for kids in our neighbourhood and that I had contributed before in 2006.  Don't know if I did or not but when I started to explain that we would not be doing any more donations over the phone, he hung up before I was finished.

I get calls from this number several times a week.  I never answer and they never leave a message.  Is there any way to stop this?  I see from the other comments that this is obviously a scam artist who is abusing the phone lines.
